Dr.. ROuth's Eccentricity,

There are men who belong, by their
feelings and modes of thought, to the
seventeenth century, but their bodily
existence is passed in the nineteenth.
Such a man was DR.. Routh, who died
in 1854 in his hundreth, year. In his
case it is not difficult to excuse a lack
of apprehension of 'inodern improve
ments.'' He had beeu president of
Magdalene college sixty three years
when he died.
! His politics were those of STAFFORD,
his religion that of Laud. the topic OF
his conversation the young Pretend er
and the Jacobite faction, aud he wore
a full-btotomed wig to the day of his
death.
The old tory did not quarrel with
the nineteenth century, as Mr.. Ruskin
does, with his contemptuous condenl-
nation of railroads, bicycles and mod
ern modes of locomotion generally.
DR.: Routh simply renowned the cen
fury and all its works.
! At long intervals he visited Loudon,
but he always travelled by coach call
ed the Star. The fare had been 20
| shillings. which competition had re-
| duced to a guinea.
Unaware of the reduction, DR.. Routh,
on his next visit to the metropolis, was
assisted to alight bv the coachman, to
! whom he handed 25 shillings for bis
fare and an additional half crown as
'tip' for the respectful jehu.
''The fare, Mr.. President. is reduced
to guinea said the coachman. The
| venerable man reflected, and then re-
piled:
"Sir, have always paid Is shillings,
and I always SHALL
Jehu bowed submissively and pock-
eted the extra 4 shlllings.
| An undergraduate having appeared
at the college three days after the be-
ginning of the term-he had spent the
time in London-the tutors suggested
| that he should be rusticated.
''Three days late, is he ?'' answered
the venerable president in his childish
treble. ''Well, sirs, there has been a
fall of snow. and as the gentleman
resides in Norfolk, no doubt the coach
es have been detained on the road"
"But,' urged the tutors, " he could
nave reached O4lOfd IN rev hours Dy
| railway
Railway y exclaimed the president,
incredulously. '.Ah. well, don't know
ANYTHING about thatr'
The old man, though he daily heard
the whistle of the locomotive running
on the Great Western railway, ignored
the existence of the road. ,%

whom the genius Of Disraeli rescued

In the foreign news, the term "clo-
ture' frequently appears. Cloture is
French and mea MS closing of debate.
1t is borrowed by the English Parlia-
uent from the French Assembly, where
it answers to the carrying of the "pre-
vious question" in the United States
add State Legislatures. These terms
mean that as all has been said and
heard that is necessary for a de-
termination by vote, the debate is
closed; its purpose is to prevent the
hint1rance to legislation by a talkative
and persistent partisan minority.

The fact that there were but SO, 900
interest checks for the 4-per cent
bonds sent out from Washington at
the end OF the fiscal year, as compared
with Al, 600 twelve months ago, shows
that the small holders have been selling
